Dear Miss Thorold .. am I right in saying Miss Thorold? if I am against dignities, let them forgive me.
Your letter follows me to Italy where I have resided since my marriage, & takes rank immediately among pleasant proofs of remembrance given to me by my friends in England. As such I feel it & thank you for it most cordially, desiring to express for my part, some hope & much desire that so generous an appreciation & sympathy may be better justified by future work of mine than by what is already done–
For Schiller, I know him of course—but only something of Richter, & that knowledge
